NCISfans, mark your calendars! The sixth season of the police procedural drama, following a season 5 ender that left fans big bomb shells to ponder on for several months.

Just like previous seasons, season 6 of NCIS will occupy the Tuesday, 8pm slot, beginning September 23. The series that mixes drama with a liberal dose of humor will serve as a lead-in for the series debut of The Mentalist at 9pm, which will be followed by the season 7 premiere of Without a Trace at 10pm.

Not all titles featured on BuddyTV are available through Amazon Prime.

Meanwhile, fans have a lot of things to look forward to as NCIS heads for a new season. In the two-part season 5 finale, the team lost one of its own, Director Jenny Shepard (Lauren Holly) was killed in a shootout, while Tony (Michael Weatherly), Ziva (Cote de Pablo), Tim (Sean Murray) were seemingly reassigned, leaving Gibbs (Mark Harmon) with a seemingly new team.

But as reported previously, NCIS executive producer Shane Brennan already hinted that fans will not be disappointed as the show won't pull another House-shakeup when it returns with new episodes. While this may clam down its raging fans, he did, however, reveal that the new season will be packed with action and heart-pounding suspense.
